The way this reads, you removed a heatsink and used only as5 instead, then the chip won't pass prime?
PLEASE tell me you used the heatsink, and just replaced the old pastey blob with some as5. If you didn't use the heatsink, it's no wonder you didn't pass prime. I'm amazed your computer didn't pop like a firecracker!
But to answer your question, yes, replace the standard compound with as5.
